The Bangalore police said when the four men were taken to the police station they were trying to escape and attacked the police, and in self-defence, police shot in the knees of Hridoy and Sagar. Talking to the reporters, victim’s father said,
A little over a year ago, she met her husband’s friend Hridoy in Moghbazar and told me that he would help her find work abroad with her husband. I tried to stop her, but she went anyway.”
